In constraint satisfaction, decomposition is a common technique to split a problem in a number of parts in such a way that the global solution can be efficiently assembled from th...
Distributed systems can often be modeled as a collection of distributed (system) variables whose values are constrained by a set of constraints. In distributed multi-agent systems...

Coarse grain parallelism inherent in the solution of Linear Programming (LP) problems with block angular constraint matrices has been exploited in recent research works. However, t...
A common approach in designing relational databases is to start with a universal relation schema, which is then decomposed into multiple subschemas. A good choice of subschemas ca...
